What we have been doing this month!

My husband has been hatching a plan for several months to create a gate between the house and the garden wall.  

Using left over timber (plus a small supplement of sarking) and copper damp course from the original house and a lot of coppered clout nails (we had to buy more, if anyone would like some) the following has appeared, hopefully it will be hung tomorrow, but I couldn't wait to show you the pics.

copper strips laid out, having been bashed flat by my husband

the first few layers secured - will we have enough???

Yes, just, with a few patches in places
